Call for Papers

The Sixth Annual Conference on Undergraduate Research on Applied Computing (URC 2014) aims to provide a forum for undergraduate students to present their ideas and interact with other young researchers from educational institutions in the UAE, other GCC countries, and the rest of the Arab world, as well as expert faculty and leaders from the IT industry. So, if you are an undergraduate student (in UAE, GCC counrties, other Arab countries) working on a final year project or doing research in any computing field, you are encouraged to submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. There are two types of submission, and all submissions will be reviewed by expert faculty and feedback will be provided to all submissions. Call for Papers in PDF format.

Submission Types

The papers and presentations should report on work done by undergraduate students, and the first author should be an undergraduate student.

Full paper for Oral Presentation: This type of submission reports on a research project with results. The submission must be 5 to 6 pages and must be formatted using the IEEE template (download the MS Word format). Accepted papers must be presented at URC2014 in an oral presentation. Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

Abstracts for Oral or Poster Presentation: This type of submission reports on a research project that's in progress and results will be available and presented at the conference in an oral or poster presentation. In an oral presentation, the presenter will be given 15 minutes to present his/her work in front of the audience. Poster presentations are meant to be visual and will be displayed in the conference venue and presented during breaks. Most students who have demos like to present in a poster presentation style.
